Can I download modifications from other MOD/Hack Distribution Webites?
Although you are free to download MODs from other sites, we do not recommend it. The MODs that are posted to the phpBB.com MOD Database go through a thorough validation process to make sure that the MOD works, follows basic coding standards, and does not hamper your board. phpBB does not give support for MODs downloaded from sites other than phpBB.com.
